There is also evidence suggesting the co-existence of some low level of regeneration with chronic autoimmunity, as islet autoimmunity may also persist or perhaps be reactivated years after diagnosis. Indeed, significant proportions (30–40%) of islet or pancreas transplant recipients express one or more autoantibodies when evaluated prior to transplantation. Moreover, persisting autoreactive T-cell responses detected prior to transplantation correlate with islet graft failure on follow-up.
